Default TPIS 1200 CFM Oval T/B & Intake?

Hey Guys,
Is the TPIS 1200 CFM Oval T/B and intake a good option for a stroker in place of all the questions surrounding the FAST or LS2 set up? Its an LS6 modified intake so that portion is tried and proven to be successful. Anyone have any experience with this set up?

www.tpis.com is the site. Type in oval in the search box.

God Bless,
Keith

That requires the intake too.

They basically cut the neck off and add the new ovaled neck and TB.

I wonder how they stuck them together. If they did it wrong it could be real real bad. But it is neat.

I have had great luck with mine, no problems, the way they mount the new neck of the intake is not coming off, haven't seen any problem, I have personally installed on several cars, no problems. I gained 25rwhp,30rwtq on a 427

BonestockC5,
Thank you for the reply. Those are impressive numbers! I am building a 408 with all the goodies and I can't decide whether to wait and try the FAST or LS2 set up or just get this set up from TPIS and be done with it. What do you think?

God Bless,
Keith
